\nToday I just wanted to share a really cool quote by G.W. Chesterton read by Matt Chandler in one of his recent sermons. It gave me a fresh perspective\u00a0 and also gave me pause, so I wanted to pass that along. I’d love to know what you think. Here it is:<\/p>\n
\n“Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, “do it again”; and the grown up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown up people are not strong enough to\u00a0<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n
\nexult in monotony.\u00a0<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n
\nBut perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning; “Do it again’ to the sun; and every evening, ‘Do it again’ to them moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike, it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them.<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n
\nIt may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy, for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.” – G.W. Chesterton<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n
\nI love this. I love to think of God has having a spirit that is fierce and free. I would love to be able to exult in monotony because so much of life is monotonous. I get up everyday and go to the same job that I went to the day before. Wouldn’t it be cool if we had the attitude when we arose in the morning….”Do it again, God” and we were excited about the monotonous day ahead? I’m thinking we would see the beauty and the detail in each day and the beauty of the people that we encounter regularly. I really do want a spirit abounding in vitality and a spirit that is fierce and free.\u00a0 Instead of growing old and bitter may I have a little of God’s eternal appetite of infancy. For yes, our Father is indeed younger than we.<\/p>\n
Have a glorious, monotonous day!
